In reacties op mijn stuk over Paarse Vrijdag valt één ding steeds opnieuw op: niet het meningsverschil, maar de weigering om het meningsverschil ��berhaupt serieus te nemen.

Veelzeggend is de eindzin in dit stuk van Movisie-onderzoeker Hanneke Felten: “Het is een initiatief dat oproept tot solidariteit. Wie kan daar nu tegen zijn?” De ironie is stuitend. Die vraag doet alsof weerstand alleen kan voortkomen uit kwaadwilligheid of onwetendheid. Niet uit inhoudelijke bezwaren of botsende waarden. Zo hoef je niets meer te begrijpen; je hoeft alleen nog te veroordelen.

Mijn punt was nooit dat jongeren geen bescherming nodig hebben. Waar ik kritiek op heb, is de ideologische verbreding van de beweging: van bescherming tegen pesten naar een omstreden verhaal over gender, inclusief het idee dat je “in het verkeerde lichaam” kunt zitten en dat anderen jouw identiteit moeten bevestigen. Dat is geen vaststaand feit, maar een betwist interpretatiekader. Het als vanzelfsprekend onderwijzen daarvan op scholen is dus hoogst discutabel.

Wat deze en veel andere reacties blootleggen, is een beweging die zichzelf heeft opgesloten in haar eigen gelijk. Luisteren is vervangen door labelen. Wie kritiek heeft, krijgt geen antwoord maar een stempel: conservatief, manosphere, desinformatie. Zo hoef je niets meer te onderzoeken en niemand meer serieus te nemen.

Dit is hoe de lhbtiqa+-beweging oogkleppen heeft opgezet. Ze hoeft de ander niet meer te begrijpen, want die ander is al moreel afgekeurd.

Jongeren help je niet door twijfel te pathologiseren en kritiek te demoniseren. Je helpt ze door te luisteren naar wat schuurt, óók als dat schuurt aan je eigen overtuigingen. Wie dat weigert, veroorzaakt zelf polarisatie. Niet door debat, maar door het systematisch onmogelijk te maken.

@legaltweetz Deranged.

After this no sane person is going to trust you, or take you seriously.

This behavior is not at all that of a gentleman, nor that of a scholar.

@OstinatoRigore4 @BevJacksonAuth If a girl is convinced that she is a boy, then that is either a fantasy or a delusion. That the brain is the origin of this conviction is irrelevant, since convictions are produced by the brain.

[Thomas Kril @thomas_kril]

@Provokatov That's very easy to say for someone who apparently has no idea about the debilitating effects that trauma can have, even half a lifetime later.
In my case I did relatively well until I was ~25, when suddenly the dam broke and everything came crashing down.

[Thomas Kril @thomas_kril]

@datepsych The last paragraph is correct.

Other than that I don't even know where to start...

@TracycCoyle @SwipeWright @HHSGov What's your point then? Afaict nothing you stated or quoted contradicts the definition of male/female that @SwipeWright provided. In-utero hormone exposure influences masc/feminization, but (as you acknowledge) that does not imply a change of sex.

[Thomas Kril @thomas_kril]

@TracycCoyle @SwipeWright @HHSGov A female with masculinized behavior is still a female, wouldn't you agree?

The paper does not state "when females are given high T in utero, they become [as children] males".

@TheProjectUnity A kinetic energy weapon, aka "rods from God".

@Catholicizm1 Initially parents were told that it would curb masturbation, which they believed to be harmful at the time. When that rationale was no longer popular, the new justification became that it was needed for proper hygiene and to prevent disease.

[Thomas Kril @thomas_kril]

@OstinatoRigore4 @KnownHeretic Is core gender identity the same concept though as "gender identity" used by transgender activists? It doesn't seem to be, since as I understand from your writing, CGI refers to our internal knowledge of what our sex is, so it's not related to gender as separate from sex. Agreed?

[Thomas Kril @thomas_kril]

@DrDelisted @BuenoForMiami If infant circumcision is necessary to maintain proper hygiene amongst kids, how do you explain this is not a problem in European countries where this practice isn't common?

[Thomas Kril @thomas_kril]

@NJBeisner Agreed. It's a barbaric practise, inexplicably still present in some civilized countries, where hygiene is used as a post-hoc justification. In reality cleaning is a complete non-issue for intact men. It takes all of 3 seconds at most.

[Thomas Kril @thomas_kril]

@NJBeisner Women have every right to an opinion on this subject, since it pertains to the sons they birth, whose welfare they have responsibility for. Thank you for standing up for boys' bodily integrity 🙏

@rhinoteeth @Mgb01927 @BAELAD0LL @stuartf100 @Danimalish @GCPaulM If your (or even "most normal people"'s) goalposts of what constitutes transphobia include the viewpoint that woman means adult human female, then they deserve to be moved.

[Thomas Kril @thomas_kril]

@LGBwiththeT Sure, classifying people based on appearance instead of biological reality is totally consistent with GC views... 🙄

[Thomas Kril @thomas_kril]

@SwipeWright Physics cannot currently explain consciousness and it's conceivable that it never will. Therefore IMO it's quite reasonable to consider consciousness as metaphysical. The evidence you give points to consciousness needing a physical brain to interact with the physical world.

[Thomas Kril @thomas_kril]

@atalanta44 @RealityEnthusi2 Interesting. I wonder how they can distinguish genes that contribute to properties we consider masculine/feminine from those associated with masculine/feminine *identity* 🤔

[Thomas Kril @thomas_kril]

@i_iratus You claim that Italy's motivation for banning surrogacy is "to dismantle LGBTQ rights". How can you tell this is the motivation, rather than, say, a principled objection against surrogacy in general, regardless of the sexual orientation or gender identity of the would-be parents?

[Thomas Kril @thomas_kril]

@CaraPac46808618 @FluffAnecdote @nickwallis Your position is exactly that: logically inconsistent: you recognize that a male and a female are required for sexual reproduction, but still maintain that sex is nothing but a social construct.

[Thomas Kril @thomas_kril]

@CaraPac46808618 @canthelpmenow7 @nickwallis What does "female" refer to there, if not to sex?
